It’s not an easy time for the broader markets, though the Nifty still remains below the 17,000 points. While the benchmark indices the Sensex and the Nifty and still better placed, it is the broader markets that is causing a pain for investors.

The problem for the markets now arise from rising interest rates and worries over the banking sector in the US. One of the bigger problems is the colossal losses investors are seeing in the broader markets.
It’s highly possible that retail investors are stepping back and investing money in fixed deposits, which are now offering much better interest rates.
Some analysts believe that retail interest is ebbing. The market has gone nowhere in the last 1-year and good quality stocks are falling. Higher interest rates and increasing costs of inputs are weighing on the manufacturing sector. Financial Services, media stocks are all bearing the brunt. Some good quality stocks like TV Today Network, Motilal Oswal are more from the services side, which are also seeing investor selling pressure. In fact, both these stocks have seen sustained selling pressure. Remember, TV Today Network is a debt free company.
